Blow-n Away II

I usually find the New York Times?s Charles Blow something of a predictable blowhard on racial issues, which is what he mainly writes about, but his short piece yesterday accusing the United States of being a ?Religious Outlier? reached entirely new depths of utter incomprehensibility.

Indeed, the results of Blow?s attempt ?to chart religiosity against gross domestic product per capita, and to group countries by their size and dominant religions? are so bizarre that his chart actually disproves an old cliché.

The cliché goes, ?a picture is worth a thousand words.?

Assuming that this holds true for charts [Blow writes], here is mine.

Take a look, and I think you?ll agree that it certainly doesn?t hold true for this chart, although I suppose even this weird chart may be worth more than 1000 (or more) Blow words on the subject.
